ACAPULCO, Mexico (Reuters) - Tropical Storm Carlotta weakened into a tropical depression on Saturday after battering Mexico's Pacific coast and killing at least two children whose house collapsed in a landslide.

The government of Mexico previously lifted the hurricane warning from Salina Cruz to Acapulco after Carlotta made landfall in the southern state of Oaxaca on Friday night, dumping rain on mountainous villages along the coast.
